Fuse #1

Every week I go to the comic shop. If I'm delayed, it is only by a day. I have my choices picked before I even traverse the twenty some mile distance to my LCS, which is about 15X further than the one closer to where I live. As I walk around the store, grabbing for my weekly addiction, I will try something new once in a while. And Image Comics really wants me to try something new from them this week between the pages of The Fuse #1.

The comic book is fast paced and reads like a good television show feels. I was never one for Mysteries or whodunit shows. I wasn't a fan of Murder She Wrote or Sherlock Holmes, but I remember reading five minute mystery stories in elementary school that had me guessing. To say that The Fuse reminded me of those short stories would be a disservice to Anthony Johnston, it's more like the feeling of reading a mystery and trying to figure it out before the ending reveals all. 

It's only the first issue and some where 36000 km (22,469.362 miles) above the Earth there are some questions that need to be answered, predominantly that enigma that craves to be answered first is why Detective Dietrich decided to relocate to "The Fuse", second who's killing Cabler's, The Fuse's version of homeless, and third do I really have to wait a month for issue #2?

The Fuse was an interesting read, one that I only picked up because Image has continued to impress. This was no exception. I rate this a Very Fine/Near Mint out of a Near Mint.


Thanks for Reading
